pantyhose/socks

by cat-cat

hello from germany,
my question today: does anyone wear pantyhose for support? my mom (nurse too) and i wear them under our scrubs, so that legs and feet don't hurt during and after long work.
we use to put on some white tennis socks over the pantyhose - so the nylon fabric doesn't show between shoe and pants.
what about you other contributors? do you wear pantyhose under scrubs? and if you do so: do you cover and hide them under cotton socks?
greetings: c.c.

While I haven't done floor nursing in "whites" in a long time, when I did I always wore firm support pantyhose (white) under my uniforms (inc. pants). It makes a big difference by the end of the shift! I did not wear socks over the hose -- I didn't see any problem with the hose showing. Why would that be a problem?

My mom told me, the cotton fabric of white tennis socks between shoe and pants creates a much more modest look than the sheer nylon of pantyhose. Thats why she accustomed to use a pair of cotton socks for coverage whenever she wears pantyhose under pants. I assumed this habit years ago. Do you think nylon pantyhose is modest as well?

Well, in the first place, my white firm-support pantyhose weren't particularly "sheer" -- they were nearly opaque, and, in the second place, I don't see it as any less "modest" than wearing hose with a dress or slacks outside of work. Particularly with pants -- I think it's been quite a while since showing your ankles was considered racy!
